It was 5:15pm, a couple miles south of Rochester on Interstate 90. I was southbound driving the dirty but happy (coming back from autox) hyper blue / white S. The GP was driving northbound.

First I noticed a mini. Then I looked closer.. Bulbous red ears. A big racy spoiler! It's a GP! I got goosebumps.

Thing looked very pretty, I'm a big fan of the GP by now. First time I've seen one "in the metal." Hope to see them more often, hopefully at autocrosses next year.

If that was yours, please speak up!

 

Not mine, but I90 goes east-west, not north-south.

 

OK. The GP was westbound, I was momentarily going east until I could snag a suitable route south.

Thank god that was resolved!

 

Odd numbered interstates are N/S (I-95, Florida to Maine) Even numbered interstates are E/W (Route 66, From somewhere to out west )

 

haha.. but only I-287 goes north, south, east AND west! (N/S in NJ, and E/W in NY)

Redskunk - there are at least two GPs (who are inclined to appear at meets & rallies) farther east on I-90 (near the greater Boston area ):

 

Three digit interstates are circumfrential...

 

and 695 does the same in MD

 

It wasn't either me or Dave.
It might have been George - he'd planned to go to the Bavarian Auto Show in NH and lives down on LI ... but I don't know if he went in the wet weather (I guess I should ask him!)

Peter - great picture; would you mind emailing me a higher-res version for my collection?

 

Ian - are 1200 x 800 big enough? such as these:

GPMINI 1

GPMINI 2

GPMINI 3

GPMINI 4

If not, I can email you the 8.2 megapixel original files.

 

That would be at the other side of NYS. If the GP was westbound on I-90 in Rochester, the next big city is Buffalo. From there it's either on to Cleveland or head north to Canada.

 

Thanks Peter - those are plenty big enough

 

Zek! It's Adam (the solar red from autox) It may have been the same one that was at Towne MINI when I ordered my S.

 

Heya. Thought I'd prolly see ya around the interweb.
